Three-time Christy Award winner Davis Bunn collaborates with Janette Oke to evoke the tumult of first-century Judea in the wake of Christ's crucifixion.

Although she prefers service in Pontius Pilate's palace to a loveless marriage, Leah is betrothed to a Roman centurion. Before he can have Leah, however, he must go on a secret mission. But when a rabbi's missing body sends Leah and Alban after the same answers, what they discover could change all they hold dear.
